Using Preview to combine PDF documents.
We often have lots of PDF documents that we use for all sorts of reasons. You can use Preview to combine multiple documents together.
This means instead of sending multiple attachments in emails for meetings etc, you could combine agendas, related readings etc for that meeting into 1 document so it is easier to email, share, find and reference later on. So instead of finding 5 documents related to a meeting, you only have 1.

Creating Videos from Keynote presentations
Keynote is an amazingly powerful tool for creating presentations, but there are 2 slight drawbacks
Not everyone has Keynote, although more and more schools/principals/teachers/students in Sandhurst do.
If you export your Keynote to PowerPoint, you often lose half of the features you use in Keynote because PowerPoint can't handle them.
There is a solution, export you Keynote to a QuickTime movie and anyone can view it and use either as a presentation going slide by slide, or they can sit back and watch the presentation like a movie.
The other neat feature of this then, is that you can upload your presentations, complete with audio or videos in them (copyright and footnoted correctly of course!) to online spaces such as a wiki, blog, Ning or even your own YouTube channel.
